Chapter 117

Under the corridor opposite Yihong House.

Aunt Liu was full of joy, "I didn't expect so many Upper State nobles to come this time, I almost made a big mistake last night, fortunately Young Master Gongsun has unique tastes."

"What do you mean? What mistake did you make?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked strangely.

Not only was she refused entry, but she hadn't talked to Zou Lao for a few sentences before the real "Chief Steward" inside sent someone to call Zou Lao back in.

"Young Master Gongsun is a noble from the Upper State of Great Qin! When a noble visits our Red Sleeve House, of course, we must arrange for the best girl to receive him.

Last night I was ready to call someone to find Shao Yao at Tianbao Residence in Monkey Lane.

As a result, Young Master Gongsun refused without hesitation, he only wanted Jin Lian.

Fortunately, I didn't insist much.

Fortunately, Young Master Gongsun probably got used to big fish and meat, and his interest in the 'Number One Courtesan of Eastern Shu' was not as good as Jin Lian, who caught his eye, and in the end, Shao Yao wasn't ruined.

Nobles from the Upper State of China are naturally precious.

In the past, if Shao Yao could suck up to one, it would be a blessing cultivated for ten lifetimes.

But this time one or two thousand people came, Young Master Gongsun is still precious, but not necessarily the most precious one.

Shao Yao is our 'Heavenly Card' of the Teaching Division, she can't be played casually."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was speechless first, then asked suspiciously: "Just now I asked Young Master Gongsun's guard Zou Lao, he said they have seven or eight hundred people, why do you say one or two thousand?"

"Young Master Gongsun's batch might be seven or eight hundred, but there is more than one batch of Great Qin nobles coming from the East! The total number of people who finally arrived in the West might exceed ten thousand." Aunt Liu said.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said in surprise: "Ten thousand... What is Great Qin trying to do? How many people are in Marquis Lieyang's Fire Crow Army?"

Aunt Liu's expression was complicated, "It's just another 'Westward Migration of the Gentry'.

Many royal families and great families of the Western vassal states are descendants of Upper State nobles.

This time, the chaos of the thirty-six countries has freed up quite a few thrones and noble titles..."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu thought thoughtfully and said: "No wonder Zou Lao said he was escorting Young Master Gongsun to take up his post in the Western Sha Domain."

She glanced at Aunt Liu, saw her expression was gloomy, and smiled: "Upper State Qin people coming to the Western Sha Domain to occupy high positions and become people above people, Aunt is not very satisfied?"

Aunt Liu's face turned pale, she looked left and right, lowered her voice and said angrily: "Do you want to kill me!"

She even stretched out her right hand, wanting to pinch Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's cheek, but was dodged by her turning her head.

"Aunt, whatever you think in your heart is written on your face. If I don't ask it out now, when you see Young Master Gongsun later, he is so shrewd, he will definitely be able to see it immediately." Seeing Xiao Yu Yu smiled.

Aunt Liu said repeatedly: "No, absolutely no dissatisfaction at all, I even planned to introduce Shao Yao to Young Master Gongsun, can't I show my heart?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu chuckled and said: "You said it yourself, when you introduced Shao Yao to Young Master Gongsun, you thought he was the only Upper State noble who migrated westward.

Today you heard more news, especially hearing that a large number of Upper State nobles entered the Western Sha Domain, your mentality immediately changed, becoming the vigilance and dissatisfaction of locals towards outsiders.

Even if the outsiders' target is not Western Shu, but the thirty-six countries that were once hostile to Western Shu.

Well, this is called 'the rabbit dies and the fox grieves'."

"You dead barbarian, full of shit, talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu said angrily.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu waved her hand and said: "Aunt, don't shout so loudly, it was just a casual chat in private, no one else heard it, if you shout, you will attract everyone's attention."

Aunt Liu's anger grew even more, wanting to roar out louder.

Suddenly Seeing Xiao Yu Yu raised her hand and greeted: "Zou Lao, over here!"

Aunt Liu's expression stiffened for a moment, then twisted and deformed, and when she turned her head, it had already turned into a face full of gentle and kind smiles.

"Miss Yu, Aunt Liu." Zou Lao walked over, very politely and gently cupped his hands, and smiled: "The young master has finished washing up, if the two of you still intend to see the young master, you can go in now."

Young Master Gongsun made Seeing Xiao Yu Yu a bit disappointed.

The appearance is nothing to pick on, a handsome and elegant young man in his early twenties, tall and well-proportioned.

Compared with the outstanding talents Seeing Xiao Yu Yu has seen in Tianmen Town, he can be counted as handsome, elegant, and a dragon among men.

But he actually couldn't make her Purple Mansion run at full power.

The Purple Mansion only deduced slightly and gave a method to kill him directly.

A dignified Upper State noble, just this?

In addition, although Young Master Gongsun has no vulgar or playboy temperament, his words and deeds reveal a bit of frivolity.

He and Jin Lian got up late, breakfast and dinner were eaten together, and the Red Sleeve House is naturally diligent in serving Upper State nobles.

Plate after plate of delicacies were brought up, not only several times richer than usual, but almost the highest-grade feast of the Red Sleeve House.

And in big plates and big bowls, the portion is sufficient, every dish is stir-fried and brought over immediately while hot—compared to being brought over in a food box together, this is obviously more labor-intensive and also very troublesome for the kitchen.

A brothel is not a restaurant, every dish in a restaurant is clearly priced.

A brothel doesn't sell dishes, it sells service.

Wine and dishes are just an element of service.

Generally speaking, wine money and overnight fees are all included in the money for ordering a girl.

For example, if a patron takes a fancy to Jin Lian and pays an overnight fee of 50 silver taels, the wine he drinks, the food he eats, the bed he sleeps in, and the breakfast he eats the next day all have fixed examples.

The style and taste may be different, but the value and grade are almost fixed, and the portion is as small as possible.

If the patron gives extra silver as a tip to Jin Lian, Jin Lian gets a certain percentage, and if she is happy, she pays the kitchen to help add a dish to please the patron and get more tips.

In short, the Red Sleeve House sells commodities like a supermarket, the price is relatively transparent and fixed, and it will not increase the price of ordering a girl because a certain rich brother is particularly rich.

Unlike supermarkets, a large part of the Red Sleeve House's turnover comes from customer tips.

Young Master Gongsun chose Jin Lian, theoretically, the prostitution fee he paid and the food provided by the Red Sleeve House also have fixed examples.

But now Jin Lian obviously didn't add extra meals (she has to pay for it herself), yet the Red Sleeve House took the initiative to bring out the richest feast to entertain the Upper State noble.

The Red Sleeve House is diligent, and Jin Lian is even more diligent.

When talking to Seeing Xiao Yu Yu and Aunt Liu, Young Master Gongsun basically sat upright, with a calm demeanor, a smile on his face, and his eyes and expression appeared very patient and gentle.

Jin Lian was like a boneless water snake, wishing she could wrap herself around him.

Without Young Master Gongsun moving his own chopsticks, Jin Lian took the initiative to press her face against his, put the wine glass to his mouth, he took a sip, and she stretched out her tongue to lick it.

Jin Lian also used chopsticks to pick up a piece of steamed fish, used her mouth to pick out a few big thorns, and then handed it to Young Master Gongsun's lips.

Young Master Gongsun chewed slowly, his face full of enjoyment, nodding gently.

Facing Jin Lian's flirtatiousness, he accepted everything, and gave Jin Lian a positive response, not caring that there were other people in the room.

Aunt Liu praised Young Master Gongsun for being broad-minded, unrestrained, and romantic, but Seeing Xiao Yu Yu felt he was purely a straw bag.

If he had human immortal strength, or let her Purple Mansion run for a while longer, deducing at least one kind of "enemy-breaking sword intent," she might be able to barely agree with the evaluation of being romantic and unrestrained.

But she already knew his true foundation.

Weak, and loves to play, if this isn't a straw bag, what is it?

You know, Aunt Liu, who felt "the rabbit dies and the fox grieves," is just a Shu person, and has no direct conflict of interest with the Qin people of the "Westward Migration of the Gentry."

The real trouble for the westward-migrating Qin people, or even a life-and-death crisis, is in the Western vassal states they are about to occupy high positions in!

"I might have misjudged that Young Master Gongsun, he is not completely useless, at least he has self-knowledge." A few days later, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu complained to Hong Qu: "He knew his strength was low, after crossing the Liusha River, he didn't dare to go west at all.

He has been hiding in the Yihong House enjoying fine wine and beauties, at least his life is saved."

In the past few days, Tianmen Town has been unusually lively.

Even though Seeing Xiao Yu Yu has been staying in the Red Sleeve House without going out, she has heard a lot of news related to Upper State nobles from other girls and neighbors in the soy sauce lane.

The vast majority are positive news.

How elegant and refined the Upper State noble's bearing is, how graceful and luxurious the etiquette is, how outstanding the literary talent is...

It's just that the Upper State nobles didn't stay too long in the prosperous Tianmen Town.

Even if they stopped briefly, they were attending various high-end banquets, drinking and chanting poems with aristocratic families, or competing in martial arts.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu wanted to go out and see the Chinese immortal martial arts, but her "big sister" Jin Lian already has an owner.

Moreover, those invited are all the highest-grade "Eastern Shu courtesans."

Such as Shao Yao, Hong Wei, and other courtesans who are talented and beautiful.

Of course, the vast majority of Upper State nobles didn't stop at all, and on the same day, they hired carriages, took their attendants and luggage, and went west to Luodu.

It is said that they are waiting for the Great Qin Imperial Envoy to arrive in Luodu.

Then go together to the Western countries to appease the chaos and stabilize the hearts of the people.

Only Young Master Gongsun didn't make any move.

"The people of my Great Jin are loyal, discerning right from wrong, and have unyielding bones, they will never let the violent Qin thieves get their wish!" Hong Qu gritted her teeth and cursed.

She has been very uncomfortable these past few days.

Western Shu is Great Qin's "own people," the status of the Li family royal family is unusually stable, and there will be no Upper State nobles coming to seize power.

But other Western countries, especially Hong Qu's mother country, Western Lu, were miserable.

The royal family Ji of Western Lu was almost slaughtered.

And in the "Jin Yang Blood Case," it wasn't just the Ji royal family who died, but also many Western Lu nobles who shared the fate of the country.

For example, the eight great families including the Kong family were all brutally purged.

Now their vacant positions are definitely going to be replaced by Great Qin nobles who migrated westward.

Clearly resisting Great Qin, but in the end, their own family died out, and their family property and children were all occupied by Qin people, so it's no wonder Hong Qu is sad and angry.

"You can change to a higher perspective to look at this problem."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu advised: "First of all, haven't the Western vassal states been suffering from demon disasters in recent years?

Now that Great Qin nobles are in power, it relates to their own lives, can they not try hard to change the situation?

After the demon disasters are eliminated, the biggest beneficiaries are still the common people.

Secondly, before migrating westward, they were Upper State nobles, after migrating westward, the nobles are still nobles, but they are no longer Upper State nobles.

Because they will stay in the Western Sha Domain forever, just like the current Shu royal family, becoming local nobles.

The status is different, the position changes immediately, and the attitude towards the Western vassal states will definitely be different.

Marquis Lieyang will raise his butcher knife and kill, kill, kill.

They will try hard to buy people's hearts, treat the common people well, and make friends with the remaining local powerful families.

In general, they will accelerate the healing of the wounds brought to the Western Sha Domain by the chaos of the thirty-six countries."

Hong Qu said coldly: "If they want to occupy your Sha Man's Northern Wilderness and become the King of Sha Man, would you think so too?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said speechlessly: "Are you confused by anger? If they are willing to go to the Northern Wilderness to educate the Sha Man, the Sha Man will only be grateful."

"Little Fengxian, Little Little Fengxian, hurry, hurry out and see the guests!"

Aunt Liu's howling like a slaughtered pig came into the small courtyard through the courtyard wall, and after a while, there was "bang bang bang" intense knocking on the door.

"Little Little Fengxian, dead girl, hurry out, your good fortune has come!"

Hong Qu's face changed, and she said angrily: "What is Liu Sanya going crazy about, you are only so young, and she actually lets you see guests, and even calls it good fortune!"

Liu Sanya is not Aunt Liu's name.

She is the third in her family, and was called "Third Yu Yu Ya Tou" by her parents when she was young.

When she was sold to Qingshuiwan, she didn't have a name at all, and was always called "Liu San, Liu San."

Until Liu San grew older, she blossomed, the ugly duckling turned into a little swan, and became a girl with a "stage name."

Aunt Liu's "stage name" is actually quite nice, Liu Ruyi.

The name "Liu Sanya" is only known by the older aunts, who know it but dare not call her that.

It was because Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was curious why Madam Huo and Big Boss Du called Aunt Liu "Liu San" that she found out the old name "Liu Sanya."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu knew it, and Hong Qu, Ziying, and a few other close little girls also knew it.

"To make Aunt so excited, it must be a great noble, maybe even an Upper State noble who has depreciated significantly recently."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's reaction was calm, she hasn't even been "combed" yet, if they want to see her, it's mostly for sword arts.

"Aunt, where is my good fortune?"

"It's a little Daoist priest, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate features, but don't underestimate him, the Chief Clerk Suiyuanzi at the Prince of Qinghe's mansion bows and scrapes to him, doing his best to please him, he is probably a 'Real Upper State Noble'."

Uh, there are too many Great Qin noble young masters who migrated westward recently, and Upper State nobles have started to distinguish between "real and fake."

"Could the little Daoist priest be Old Ancestor Qingsong, hasn't he returned to Great Qin yet?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said in surprise.
